My God, am I rooted. I am seriously sore all over after cleaning, scrubbing, cleaning and then scrubbing the deck and verandah today. And the bad news is that it's only just begun; tomorrow I have to do the first coat of decking oil, and then do another coat on Friday morning. But it looks fantastic already :)

However, all my physical ailments were forgotten tonight when Aurora came home, heard Led Zeppelin playing in the lounge room and then in a matter of rushed panic started repeating "C'mon daddy, let's dance!" over and over while taking her shoes and jacket off at the front door. We then proceeded to boogie to a few Zep tunes (Misty Mountain Hop being a particular favourite). Prior to Zeppelin, I managed to make it through a few albums today; Body Count ("Body Count"), CKY ("Infiltrate. Destroy. Rebuild"), Ministry ("Psalm 69"), and 3 Dream Theater albums ("Images and Words", "Scenes from a Memory" and "Systematic Chaos"). A very rockin' day indeed
